{"title":"Zips","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWholesale zips for garment production\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA zip is a small detail, yet it decides whether a garment is enjoyed for years or comes back as a complaint. That is why, when buying zips wholesale, it is not only price and colour that matter but also the tooth type, size, slider style and how the zip is sewn in. Polkom is a Bulgarian company based in Sofia with more than three decades of experience in garment accessories. We supply zippers to fashion brands, clothing manufacturers, ateliers and traders across Europe – from single samples for a new collection to full production runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery zip consists of two textile tapes, a row of teeth (the chain) along their edges, a slider with a puller, and stops at the ends. The combination of these elements determines strength, flexibility and appearance. That is why our range is built around four main zip groups, each with a clear purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTypes of zips in our range\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMetal zips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/metal-zippers\"\u003eMetal zips\u003c\/a\u003e have teeth made of brass, aluminium or nickel-plated alloy. They are the classic choice for jeans, jackets, leather goods and bags – strong, with a distinctive sound and look. Finishes include nickel, gold, antique brass, bronze and black nickel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNylon coil zips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/nylon-coil-zippers\"\u003eNylon coil zips\u003c\/a\u003e feature a continuous nylon spiral stitched to the tape. Light and flexible, they follow the curves of the pattern and are the most versatile choice for dresses, trousers, sweatshirts, pouches and home textiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMoulded plastic zips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/vislon-zippers\"\u003eMoulded plastic zips\u003c\/a\u003e have individual plastic teeth injection-moulded directly onto the tape, most often from polyacetal (POM). They do not rust and withstand moisture and cold, which is why they are preferred for sports jackets, outerwear, backpacks and workwear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInvisible zips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/invisible-zippers\"\u003eInvisible (concealed) zips\u003c\/a\u003e are coil zips with a reversed chain: once sewn in, only the small slider puller shows on the outside. They are used in dresses, skirts, formalwear and cushion covers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSizes, lengths and constructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZip size is indicated by a number that roughly corresponds to the width of the closed chain in millimetres. The most common sizes in apparel are:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 3 – fine garments, dresses, pockets, light skirts;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 5 – the all-round size for trousers, jeans, jackets and bags;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 8 and No. 10 – heavy jackets, coats, backpacks, luggage and outdoor gear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the way they open, zips are closed-end (joined at the bottom – for trousers, pockets, skirts), open-end\/separating (for jackets and sweatshirts that open fully) and two-way (with two sliders – for long jackets, parkas and sleeping bags). As well as ready-made zips in fixed lengths, many models can also be ordered in custom lengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eColours, finishes and sliders\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTapes are dyed in a wide palette and can be matched to a fabric swatch or a Pantone reference. With metal zips you also choose the tooth finish, and with moulded zips whether the teeth match the tape or contrast with it. Sliders matter too: auto-lock (self-locking) sliders for trousers, non-locking sliders for cushions and bags, double-sided sliders for reversible garments, plus decorative pullers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCustom zips with your logo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor brands that want a recognisable detail, we offer sliders and pullers with a logo, custom shapes and colour combinations tailored to the collection. The zip can become part of the product's visual identity – especially on jackets, bags and sportswear. Our services also include sample making, logo engraving, attaching zips and accessories, and advice on choosing the right type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy order zips from Polkom\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore than 10,000 garment accessory articles and large stock in Sofia.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn-house production to the client's design and logo.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast sampling so you can check colour and function before the production run.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompetitive wholesale prices and delivery across the EU.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe option to combine zips with buttons, labels and other trims in a single order.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are looking for original zips from a specific brand, see our separate category of \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/ykk-zippers\"\u003eYKK zips\u003c\/a\u003e, which we also supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to order\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSend us an enquiry with the zip type, size, length, colour (or a fabric swatch), slider type and an approximate quantity.
